1. A backlight assembly, comprising:
a first light source unit including first through n-th light emitting members; and a light guide plate including:
a continuously linear first side adjacent to the first light source unit,a first groove recessed from the first side and adjacent to a first end of the first side, anda second groove recessed from the first side and adjacent to a second end opposite to the first end of the first side,whereinthe first side is continuously linear between the first and second grooves,the first through n-th light emitting members include:
the first light emitting member at a first end of the first light source unit, and facing the first groove;the n-th light emitting member at a second end opposite to the first end of the first light source unit; anda second light emitting member adjacent to the first light emitting member and a n-1-th light emitting member adjacent to the n-th light emitting member, each facing the continuously linear first side of the light guide plate, andthe first through n-th light emitting members are spaced apart from each other and linearly aligned such that surfaces thereof facing the light guide plate are disposed on a same line, wherein the first groove and the second groove have an arc shape in a plan view, and in a direction perpendicular to the first side, a terminating end of the arc shape is at a distance from the first side, and in a direction perpendicular to the first side, a maximum distance between the arc shape and the first side is greater than the distance between the terminating end of the arc. |
